Rabbit Breeders or Experience Bunny Grandmomma's Please, Doe's near due date and I need some advice :)?

Hey my 5 month old Doe accidently got pregnant. She has had a palpatation by a vet when she was only two/three weeks into the pregnancy, the vet couldn't really feel nothing. But after discussing her with the vet the other day he agree's she's pregnant, she's just showing far too much for her to be suffering a phantom. She's about 26/27 days I'd say.


Right well I've done LOADS of research into it. But I'd like to know if she can jump around, as currently she is jumping on my boyfriends sleeping body.... and he's still snoring away lol. And I just don't want her to hurt. Her tummy is rock hard now too, should I be expecting them soon? She has been digging like mad for the past few days now too.Rabbit Breeders or Experience Bunny Grandmomma's Please, Doe's near due date and I need some advice :)?
baby Rabbits are born 27 to 31 days if shes digging shes getting ready watch for her to start pulling out her fur to make a nest not all new moms do this though and some do it after the baby's are born .


I hope you have a nesting box for her . If not don't freak out just be shore to build the nesting stuff you use around the baby's so they cant wounder all over the cage they need each others body heat to stay worm make shore your home is worm for them keep them a way from any drafts. be very careful of mommy she will bite you and it hurts .


some moms bite days be for giving birth


and don't freak out but a lot of first time moms don't know what to do and the baby's may die with in a week . If they make it to 1 week there eyes will open and you should be ok . I wish you luck


and as to your question If she were mine I wouldn't let her jump from any place to high as she can hurt the baby's or herselfRabbit Breeders or Experience Bunny Grandmomma's Please, Doe's near due date and I need some advice :)?
Do you have any new bunnies yet? Its will be very soon. You can touch the babies to see how many their but I wouldnt suggest touching to much for the first 2 weeks. After that their eyes will be open and they will be moving around some.

Your question was answered so I just have a little bit of advice.





Do not touch the babies for at least three days after they are born. After three days reach in the nest box and feel around for any dead ones. After you do that only check once or twice a day until the babies are about a week old.





if you mess with the babies to much, some new mothers will stomp them and kill them. Some exsperienced mothers will as well.
Put in a safe place. Like a hutch. Put a nesting box in with her. I always use straw for bedding so put that in their. She will make the nest. She will have the babys at 28-32 days after being with the male so maybe tonight or atleast in the next few days. It will likey be in the night hours or early morning. She will not stay in the nesting box with her babies. She will stay near not with them. She will feed them once maybe twice a day and that will be late night or early morning. She can hop around all she wants. Oh and she may get a bit mean right after the babies are born. Good luck. Have fun with little hairless babies. Oh and she will pull her hair out right before having the babies.
